Ok clearly I used poor sentence structure. I'm well aware there are blue water cats, my point/question was which of them are "affordable" and/or suitable for a first time boat buyer.
Hint... I don't consider $200k+ for a used boat affordable.

Hi Jon,
I think many cats are capable of blue water cruising, Jeanneaus and
Beneteaus come to mind. It's just on how you set them up.
Well, since every Leopard cat (from 38 feet to around 65 feet now i think)
is delivered on its own keels from South Africa - 90% to the Caribbean i think
they have proved their blue water capabilities and their bridge deck
clearance is well very low too on the 38 through 47 foot models not so sure about
the bigger ones. I only know of one Beneteau cat the Bennie Blue and i would
not call that a blue water cat but then it is all about blue water people with
blue water mindsets - sheeesh look at Rosie Swale going round the world on a
cat enfamilie eons ago when that was a totally off the wall thing to do.
regards
David
